Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
Abstract. One of the most influential factors in the quality of the solutions found by an evolutionary algorithm is the appropriateness of the fitness function. Specifically in ...
The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows involves finding the lowest-cost set of routes to deliver goods to customers, which have service time windows, using a homogeneous ...
This paper investigates the standard ordinary least-squares version 24 and the balanced version 20 of the minimum evolution principle. For the standard version, we provide a greedy...
Encouraging exploration, typically by preserving the diversity within the population, is one of the most common method to improve the behavior of evolutionary algorithms with dece...
